2009 Championship Updates

Only two races remain in all three of NASCAR's top touring series.  All three series will travel together to Phoenix and then to Homestead to wrap up their 2009 NASCAR seasons.  For all three series the most points a driver can earn in one race is 195 and the max differential between first and last is 161.  Some of the Championships could be clinched this weekend in Phoenix.

Ron Hornaday Jr. could lock up the 2009 Camping World Truck Series Championship in Phoenix.   He currently enjoys a 197 point lead over Matt Crafton.  If Hornaday can keep Crafton in sight the Truck Series title could be his a week early.

Kyle Busch has an even larger lead in the 2009 Nationwide Series point standings.   Kyle has a 272 point cushion over Carl Edwards.   Given how strong Kyle has been in the Nationwide Series this season his odds of clinching this weekend are very high.

After Jimmie Johnson's Texas crash the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Point Standings are the closest of the three.  Jimmie is just 73 points ahead of teammate Mark Martin.   Of the three, this is once again the best battle in NASCAR.
